This risk assessment document evaluates the risks of students filming or taking photos in the college library. It identifies potential hazards such as large shelves, desks, computers, and support beams, and rates the degree of risk to students and others as minor, even with control measures in place. No further action is required as the existing controls of specific placement of objects and open walking areas are sufficient.
